Just interested.
What sport are you good at? How long've you been playing and do you enjoy it, or you looking for something more...?

Skateboarding. I've been doing it for over 7 years
Greatest sport in the world (not really a sport though
)

I actually don't play any sports
I used to play cricket & tennis back in High School though
I sometimes get the exciting opportunity to warm the bench during our office soccer matches. It's nice coz people think I'm this killa soccer player coz I got dreads and look seriously dangerous in red.
Obviously it's not true, coz I totally suck at playing the dang thing. i don't even watch it...

Get yourself a extreme sport then.

Yeah dude, extreme sports FTW. Get a sport in which you can get really hurt, those are the only REAL sports
But seriously, if you KNOW you can get really hurt, it's just THAT much better (in some sick twisted way
)

@ Skapie.
One time at bandcamp.... Kidding!
Once when I was still flying a training glider I did a take-off, but the wind wasn't enough so my butt almost grazed the cliff. I could have cut round bar with my sphincter then. After flying along the cliff (read almost touching the rocks after turns) I made it back to the top very triumphantly.
Adrenalin FTW!

yah, I don't know what though...
I've always wanted to do bunjee jumping or something like that...
Oh, and I won roller skates when I was like in STD 6, so that was the only thing close to extreme I could come across back then. The adrenalin was crazy 8O jk.

I play squash pretty competitively, but recently my body has been protesting. Spend more time at the Chiropracter than on the court.
Other than that i play the odd football match.

I don't play much sports these days, but I have done so before. Did cricket and cross-country at school (wanted to play rugby but my parents wouldn't let me because I'm one seriously small guy), but other than that, I did some rock-climbing (and was really good at that) and abseiling. I also rapp-jumped (sic?) down the Shongweni dam wall at the Spirit of Adventure camp when I was 15 (6 years ago).
At the moment, all I pretty much do is tenpin bowling - and I'm getting to be extremely accurate.
Would love to try skydiving and bungee jumping, but I think my ballies would die of heart attacks.

8O 8O 8O woah! wait a minute. There's no way in hell I'm going all the way to PE trying to get all 'extreme' and what-not, isn't there some other potentially fatal sports I can pert-take in right here in PTA, without having to cost me an arm and a leg? :biggrin:
